Hereford's Pottery Throwdown star

Friends say 'it is fantastic to see his smile' on the Channel 4 show's ninth series, with judge Keith Brymer Jones a fan of his clay-shaping skills.

33-year-old Bill Rolls moved to Herefordshire to complete his undergraduate and then postgraduate degrees at Hereford College of Arts, setting up his own ceramics business in the county.

Del Done MBE from the college tells Tammy Gooding about how she has kept his appearance in the show secret for months. She says to expect great things from the potter, who has been open about his dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism.
